Maia, V.C. 2018 Gall-inducing insects of restinga areas (Atlantic Forest) in Brazil: economic importance. Papéis Avulsos do Departamento de Zoologia, Secretaria da Agricultura. Sao Paulo 58: e20185850

Notes: A list of gall-inducing insects of potential economic importance, with a focus on those of restinga environments, was compiled using Maia (2013a) as starting . Although 58 gall-inducing species were identified in the present study, the number of insect galls associated with plants of economic interests in restinga environments is about three times greater, since a total of 186 gall morphotypes have been reported. Nonetheless, many gallers are still undetermined, thus revealing how deficient their taxonomical knowledge remains.
